Ok but remember that time Buggax blind-picked Teemo top in game 5 of the LLN playoffs ;)

"A strong top laner needs to be like a strong shot of semen: It needs to be aggressive, thick, and most importantly: it needs to be sticky. Top laners need to stay on a carry's face."

"old seraphine"Why you have to hurt me this way

It’s really interesting how different the same exact game can be between a bunch of scrubs playing and a bunch of pros playing. A lot of high level strategies only work when the opponent also knows what they’re doing. It’s what causes some scrub to beat a pro in poker because certain decisions are based on the assumption that your opponent knows what they’re doing

17:53 „pro players can make use of more complex champions“ Jhin: proceeds to miss all four of his shots

"It's definitely the role that takes the most abuse from its teammates" Jung mains: Yep

That Sea man joke was a lot

1 thing you missed about leblanc is gank setup. Almost every other assasin lacks proper and reliable cc

"Slaves need to be storng without being fed." Damn this is just like 18th century all over again.

Every other champ: has valid reasons Viego: BUG

Showmaker saw Xerath in the thumbnail and said "hold my beer"

A note on assasins: mobility used to be valued much more back in the day. Nidalee was very strong in season 1/2/3 because she had a low cooldown leap, making her less punishing to play. When zed came out, he was considered very strong, because he was the only AD champion thar had a consistent escape, while also being an assasin with very good waveclear (so you can roam or take objectives). Having access to an AD assasin mid also opened up opportunities to play comps that didn't rly exist before. This was also a time where there were no armor items for mages and as i recall, seekers armguard was added shortly after zed, as a consequence. This was a time where xerath's W literally locked him to the ground and increased his range. By these standards, nocturne would be considered a safe champion, due to his superior speed... so it goes without saying that leblanc (who used to have a built-in silence, like talon and kassadin) was extremely overpowered against uncoordinated teams.

Udyr is the new aatrox, becomes good literally as soon as they announced his rework

*"old seraphine"* RIP Sona mains

"Old Seraphine" lmao Sona would've scream if she wasn't mute

"Cheese strategies in professional play don't last really long." You surely have forgotten about Taric + Sona and Garen + Yuumi

slaves need to be strong without being fed! poetic line!

DongHuaP: "Why Pros never play your favorite champions Me: laughs in Braum, Bard, Alistar, Rakan, Thresh

Remember that time when Showmaker picked Xerath in the finals of Msi and completely dominated that round

One of the most infuriating things as a jungler is you keeping track of your enemy jungler, ping, maybe even ward, maybe even type in chat, just to watch your laner die to the gank anyway.

the semen expression killed me XD , i did not expect that

He's just trolling us with the Shyvanna pronunciation

I miss Aurelion Sol.... Cool design, unique kit, clear strengths but equally glaring weaknesses.... Now he's just a crappy Syndra with worse burst and 10 times more weaknesses but ever so slightly better roaming At this point even though he was my main mid for a time I forget he's a champion, because Riot gutted him to the point that calling him a champion seems generous

Wow, really well made video Dong, keep it up!

"and of course, old Seraphine." Oh, my sweet, Summer heart :,(

“And of course old saraphine.” Bro you didn’t have to kill her like that. 😂

The video aged like milk. Teemo is now a champ played by the pros!

I like how the name of the transitions literally makes no sense like they go from "I want to have fun" to "who was in paris?"

At first when Donghuap said Lb was the only ranged assassin I kinda thought he forgot about Ahri but then I realize Ahri is a burst mage, not a true assassin...

aye that's me 4:24

that save tho at the beginning of the jungler part. that kind of coordination is something my teammates have only in my wildest dreams 🤣🤣

"Who cares if the master Yi has 300 CS" Riot games: and I took that personally

Me playing this video in the background on speakers The video 2:43 : "A strong top laner should be like a strong shot of semen" Me : What ??!!

as a silver 4 support main I know the pain of having my Aurelion Sol banned from me every game :(

Very nice video I appreciate the effort you put into this

That’s what makes Dota so much better in the pro scene. Literally EVERY hero gets picked

Pro players do tilt. They still show up to work even when they are upset. Ryu : Oh shit, here we go again.

The amount of ads in this video surpasses the pick rate for all the champions mentioned

This was one of the best informative important videos I have ever seen. What a bonus. I would never have guessed from the title

That part on Huhi reminded me of off picks(way back) for Poppy and Sivir both getting banned for the rest of the tournament. Off picks were what I loved to see and play when I was a regular

Could you make a documentary about champions that have been not updated in a long time and they are still relevant now? For example, Zilean is more relevant now and his last update was in season 5.

I want to take a moment to speak about 29:08 because I'm personally friends with Huhi's girlfriend, and I happen to know a lot about him and how he thinks. Huhi hates playing Aurelian Sol on stage now, he despises it. He says the only reason he ever did it for 100 Thieves was because fans asked him to. On stream he doesn't like playing it and in pro-play he's relieved he doesn't have to anymore because he role-swapped to support. He knows he's still good at the champion and could if he wanted to, but he doesn't want to. Why? Well, partially because he just hasn't found the champion fun in a while, but a lot of it has to do with the expectations put on him because of this one game. Aside from a few off-meta games from Caps, Huhi is the only player in the west to ever seriously give Aurelian Sol a chance, and that made him the ambassador of the champion. If other players were more willing to experiment, he probably wouldn't have that much weight on his shoulders, but he hates going into a game thinking "this is MY champion and I have to carry this game because if I don't steamroll then I'm going to get absolutely flamed." And he's kinda right, that's too much pressure to put on one player. If other teams committed to pocket picks and off-meta champions, it would be a lot easier for a player like Huhi to take Aurelian Sol off the bench only when he felt comfortable doing so. Players with picks like Froggen's Anivia or Bjergsen's Zilean have proven there is room in the meta for different picks if the team works around them more. Players should stop feeling like slaves to the meta and start changing the meta to fit their playstyle. And a lot of that falls on coaching.

I actually got a bit emotional in the end nice video :3

i learned SO much from this. wish i knew this stuff back when i was still playing

2:43 I was stretching when this part of the video came up and I had to rewind this to make sure I heard it correctly

I'm surprised you didn't talk about Pantheon's sudden disappearance as an example for junglers after patch11.2/11.3

You might surprise, Blitzcrank is a very common pick in PCS last year. Something that you think it's weird is just thing that you doesn't see it often.

I got recommended this after Showmakers Xerath

I love how Viego is seen in the list of least played champions in pro play

So happy that Donghuap's sexual innuendos are back

yoooooooo we need a 2 year update on this, i love the knowledge behind this video. Shotout for it to be cool 2 years later with patch and all

“A strong top laner should be like a strong shot of semen. It needs to be aggressive, thick, but most importantly it needs to be sticky” That’s quite the analogy 💀

2:43 say that again DongHuap?

Glad to see the analogies are still on point.

The "Azir versatility" bit was surprisingly tasteful. Thanks, DongHuap

You can always boil it down to tuning. We’ve seen Tryndamere be picked a lot in pro play after some numbers tuning. If Teemo’s base stats were increased, eventually he’d be picked too

You're really killing it with these documentaries

0:14 That hit me like a truck... I wanna cry...

I miss the old rune system. It let you build unique builds with creativity. The new runes are cool too but I would like to see a system that combines the old and new systems.

Showmaker: Am I a joke to you?

these analogies are on another level

What do you mean, Garen's kit isn't meant for pro play??

My favorite pocket pick was Caps mid Vayne. It also ended up winning the game with an insane condemn on the enemys Tristana, mid jump.

Welp, Tryndamere part kinda aged like milk

Axil watch out, this dude is bonkers with documentarys too. Loved all of it, thx for the hard work and dedication mate

man, old seraphine was so strong back in the day

15:27 I love the udyr part and the people angrily typing about it, because it remind me of old Aatrox, that riot decided to busted-buff him to the point of being broken and EVERYONE became and Aatrox main and cried after the rework. XD

I havent watched a 30mins video for a long time, yours excellent

Damn right when I wake up. I wanna go back to sleep.

Minor mistake: Aurelion Sol was absolutely meta in 2016. Alongside Thaliya. 2016 midlane was all about clearing waves and roaming fast, and A-Sol was absolutely busted at this, due to his W and Q giving him insane waveclear and his E granting him one of the best roaming ability in the game.

I really like that I see this now and it starts with Tryndamir, just as he gets in the meta

that trynda not aged well in this video haha

So glad that Donghuap's crazy analogies are back

You should make a video talking about how Rekkles played ad kennen and why it worked out so good for him.

for update what about: outer towers while have plates have second shooting crystal, plates separate hp from tower, when plates fall reward based on how many remain. Nasus W can use on self for bonus atk & move speed, E + def while in it, pass + 6% ominvamp for each nearby enemy, when an new enemy champ appears nearby for 8 sec will gain 6%*(number of enemy champs) hp from all dmg dealt to them. Yorick add to pass if within 550 of ally tower number of enemies to die near him to raise a grave is reduced to 4/3/2/1 and if a new(8 sec) enemy appears nearby will raise 4 graves. W wall hp 2/3/4/5/6+ 1 per 100 AP, maybe add dmg since has mouths so wall will bite. R +1 mist walker per 100 AP. Tryndamere when a new enemy champ appears gain 20 fury, an for 8 sec increase amount of fury gained from AA.

2:42 I had to listen to that again, make sure I heard that right.

Hold up, something about this "Seamen" metaphor doesn't feel right.

Bro wtf if this channel how didint i find it b4. Ur work is amaizing and the info is 10/10 Gg wp im ur n#1 fan

Dong, Great video man! Just one tiny bit of critique, the scrolling of pages with minor motion blur was hard to look at I think it should be either blurred out so that it is a blob moving or no motion blur at all.

Great analogies. More people need to learn from these.

It’s important to note that Leblanc also has a 3 second root duration lol

I remember Hai playing Teemo mid and dominating due to shroom spread through the whole map.

gj keep the content up!

Great video!

Rito then: We care for all players Rito now: We only care for pros and money

Damn now I kinda feel bad for Udyr. Which I shouldn't, at all.

Had to come back and watch this video after seeing Tryndamere mid or 'Tryndamid' was a meta pick.

Watching this after season 11 is entertaining with some of these champs coming into the pro meta

16:50 made me crack up. Literally no counterplay to getting ran down that fast.

*They can't have fun, so its natural they only play meta*

Me, watching this while Tryndamere is one of the most-contested champs in the game: Huh

Looking at shaco now compared to him in season 9 makes me sad. They gutted him so hard over 2 seasons. Only recieved 2 buffs since his rework and both buffs were extremely small. Give me back season 9 shaco 😭

Your analogies are some of the best things to ever come out in the league community

So many clips of TheShy, respect.

"Old Seraphine" I'm crying. She was my main for so long and now she literally feels like a relic from a decade ago.

I LoVe it when you mention Ryu case while talking about player tilting 🤣🤣

2:42 bro you couldn't pay me to guess that this was written by donghuap LOL

That Ryu face is me at work...

Where'd you get the statistics from? I'd like to be able to look at those myself.

Really appreciate the comparisons
